A couple of weekends ago my lovely friend Tayler threw me a baby shower to celebrate the impending arrival of my baby boy, so I could think of no better excuse to make ‘blue velvet cupcakes’ using the same red velvet cake recipe I posted about back in February.
They came out of the oven looking a bluey green colour (rather ugly compared to the lovely rust red of the red velvet cake). I covered them up with some cream cheese icing and dusted on some blue sprinkles, they had the same taste as the cake that I have come to love over the last 10 months, but, when bitten into the blue colour was uneven and not nearly as striking as the red.
I think in the future I will stick to making the cake the way it was intended to be made.
